Each month, a student-led team at the UF Thompson Earth Systems Institute curates Florida’s environmental news and explains what’s going on, why it matters, and what we can do about it.
In celebration of World Sea Turtle Month, we are so excited to partner with the University of Florida Archie Carr Center for Sea Turtle Research to bring you our special sea turtle issue of Earth to Florida. We hope you enjoy!
